大般涅槃經疏 4.7

4.7

次、從「善男子未見佛性」去，答第一有智斷無智斷難。純陀引三藏佛為菩薩時，納妃生子棄國捐王、樹下坐草起洗受食，是時未斷一毫煩惱，不能化物，據此為難。佛以大緣所見為答，破於藏通二緣成佛。何者，二緣所見，非但三藏未受食時不見佛性，受已作佛亦不見性；通佛亦爾。當知未見性者，雙破二教。若華臺菩薩受佛職時，入金剛定登佛職位得三菩提，明見佛性常身法身金剛之身，即名為智，無四種身，即是於斷亦能令他具足智斷。又入金剛三昧即金剛身破無常身，即一番智斷。得三菩提即是法身破煩惱身，又一番智斷。究竟見性即是常身破於食身，又一番智斷，亦能令他具足智斷。是故二施果報無差、智斷無殊，得名時異。

Next, from "Good man, before having seen the buddhadhātu" onward, answers the first objection regarding having wisdom and eradication vs. lacking wisdom and eradication. Cunda cites the Tripiṭaka Buddha when he was a bodhisattva, taking a consort and fathering a child, renouncing the country and giving up kingship, sitting on grass beneath the tree, arising to bathe and receiving the food; at that time he had not yet severed even a hair of affliction and could not transform beings. Basing himself on this, he made his objection. The Buddha takes what is seen by those of greater capacity as his reply, refuting the attainment of buddhahood according to the capacities of both the Tripiṭaka and the Shared [teachings]. Why? As seen by these two capacities, not only did the Tripiṭaka [practitioner] not see the buddhadhātu before receiving the meal, but even after receiving it and becoming a buddha he still did not see the nature; the Buddha of the Shared [teaching] is also like this. One should know that not seeing the nature refutes both teachings. When the bodhisattva on the lotus pedestal received the office of a buddha, he entered the vajra-concentration, ascended to the rank and office of a buddha, and attained sambodhi, clearly seeing the buddhadhātu; the permanent body, the dharmakāya, and the vajra body are called wisdom, and being free from the four kinds of bodies is eradication; he was also able to cause others to be fully endowed with wisdom and eradication. Furthermore, entering the vajrasamādhi is the vajra body that shatters the impermanent body, which is one turn of wisdom and eradication. Attaining sambodhi is the dharmakāya that shatters the afflicted body, which is another turn of wisdom and eradication. Ultimately seeing the nature is the permanent body that shatters the body of food, which is yet another turn of wisdom and eradication; he was also able to cause others to be fully endowed with wisdom and eradication. Therefore, the retributions of the two givings are without disparity, and wisdom and eradication are without distinction; they merely differ in the time they obtain their names.
